Happy New Year out there!
I’m having a start problem on my RV3B: While cranking the engine the blades makes a rotation or two, then the Sky-Tec starter either disengages, or the starter spline is somehow spinning on its shaft. (broken roll pin?) The prop stops and there’s the whirring or spinning noise of the starter when it disengages.
I installed a new Odessey Extreme battery, new solenoid, cleaned all contacts, but none of this stopped the problem.
Has anyone had this issue? I’m guessing I may need to send my starter in for a overhaul, even though it only has about 250 hrs on it…
Cheers
